Print without a PC using WEB-CONNECTED solutions Print your documents on the go—without a PC—with HP ePrint.5 Use your handheld mobile device to print to the nearest web-connected printing device across the room or across town. And when you are in the office, the e-All-in-One offers apps that enable you to quickly access the internet, obtain documents, and print them faster and with less hassle—without using a PC.4

Print from the web and mobile devices—PC free5 Create the crucial connection between your business and your documents. HP ePrint technology lets you print at your convenience using any internet-capable printing device. HP ePrint technology liberates printing from your home or office by allowing you to print content while traveling or simply out and about from your mobile phone, laptop, or mobile device.

Because larger documents, presentations, and PDF files can be difficult to read on small, handheld device screens, you can print documents from your mobile device to read or take with you.

Top features 5

Easily print on the go using one of two methods:

• Download the app (ePrint) from your provider and you’re ready to print. Use your mobile device to locate the printing device closest to you. Then simply send your documents to a web-connected printing device and pick up the pages.

• Attach your document to an email message. Forward that message to a web-connected printing device from your email-capable device and collect your printed document.

Touch, access, store, and print your business information in seconds This HP web-enabled e-All-in-One includes apps that you can access from your device’s touchscreen control panel.4 These apps are special print applications available exclusively to HP web-enabled printing devices.

Apps connect your device to the internet in an altogether new and seamless way. Choose from a growing library of apps that make printing faster, simpler, and more useful than ever. Access your documents and print them in one touch from your e-All-in-One. Use the apps to:

• Keep commonly used business forms—invoices, contracts, receipts, and more—at your fingertips. Print them when you need them without a PC.

• Store documents online—not on your PC. Easily scan and store your documents online, then access and print your documents when you need them.

• Connect to your customized marketing material—brochures, flyers, and more—on Marketsplash by HP and print them in a snap. (See page 6 for further information about Marketsplash.)

Produce VIVID, FAST DRYING, professional prints The HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One series makes a long-lasting business impression with the professional-quality color and exceptional fade and water resistance of HP Officejet pigment inks. Archived documents retain text and color quality for decades.8

Print fade- and water-resistant prints HP Officejet pigment inks designed for business use are like liquid laser toner—providing professional, durable color documents that stand up to handling and dry quickly. Print professional, water-resistant documents on plain paper.

Not only do HP Officejet pigment inks offer vivid colors and bold blacks, they provide benefits over traditional dye-based inks, including superior water and fade resistance and better durability. These unique qualities are possible because the pigment solid does not dissolve in water but is dispersed to prevent pigment settling. As a result, output resists rain and water spills, and you can handle important documents with confidence.8

HP Officejet inks for business are specifically developed for use with HP printheads. Unique ink formulations help extend the life of the printheads and enhance reliability. When used with ColorLok® paper, these inks provide laser-like color output that dries quickly and is ready for distribution.

6 Top features

Archive documents and photos with confidence Documents degrade over time. As a document ages and is exposed to elements like light, heat, moisture, contact with objects, and pollution, the chemicals used to print the document break down. Additionally, the chemicals used in the papers themselves can contribute to the degradation of the document.

The HP Officejet inks developed for the new HP Officejet Pro 8500A Pro e-All-in-One create durable, water-resistant documents on HP Everyday Papers, brochure papers, and photo papers that may be both archived and displayed for decades.8

Marketing your business just got faster, easier, and free Everything you need to give your business the professional look it deserves is available at Marketsplash. Thousands of templates created by award winning business designers ensure your marketing materials are both unique and distinct. Using the Marketsplach templates, you can print two-sided borderless brochures. Choose from logos, flyers, brochures and more, then customize your selection to meet the needs of your business. And when it’s time to reprint your marketing materials, convenient one-touch access right from your e-All-in-One gives you the freedom to print whenever you want. Making your business look good has never been easier!

Cut energy use and BUILD YOUR BOTTOM LINE Reduce costs, save resources, and minimize the impact of printing on the environment with this space-saving e-All-in-One. An environmental leader, this e-All-in-One consumes up to 50 percent less energy than color laser e-All-in-Ones.1 Plus, you save time, money, and paper with built-in two-sided printing, available with all models.

This product is designed to make it easier for you to save money and conserve resources. Discover how easy it can be to conserve energy and recycle effectively by selecting Eco Tips located in the Discover section of the touchscreen.

Consume less energy • Consume up to 50 percent less energy than color laser

All-in-Ones.1 Save money through reduced energy costs by using an e-All-in-One that meets U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) strict energy efficiency guidelines.

• Consume virtually no power during idle mode, and because the e-All-in-One employs Instant-on Technology, experience no additional time for warm up. LED technology is also cleaner, more reliable, and more energy-efficient than fluorescent tube technology.

Save resources Easily recycle materials, save paper, and use fewer resources across the entire lifecycle of the e-All-in-One.

• Consume up to 50 percent less paper by printing multiple pages on a single sheet, using automatic two-sided printing. Save even more energy and paper by scanning or faxing to a PC, network folder, or to email. PC Fax Send enables paperless sending and archiving. In managed print environments, HP Web Jetadmin cuts the cost of paper consumption. Set automatic two-sided printing for individual devices or entire fleets (for two-sided printing capable devices) reducing the cost and volume of paper used by up to 25 percent.

• Reduce your impact. Printing the same number of pages, this HP Officejet Pro e-All-in-One will use up to 80 percent fewer supplies and packaging, by weight, than a similar color laser printer.12

• Simplify the management and disposal of products, and recover some of their value at end of use. Through HP Planet Partners—a free, convenient return and recycling program available in more than 49 countries—you can be assured cartridges won’t end up in a landfill.13 All returned Original HP print cartridges go through a multiphase recycling process where they are reduced to raw materials that are used to make new metal and plastic products.

8 Top features

Minimize the impact of printing • Print more responsibly. The EU RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Directive restricts the use of

certain substances (lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium and two flame-retardants: PBB and PBDE) in electronic products. HP has achieved compliance with the EU RoHS regulations for hundreds of thousands of hardware parts, substituting new materials in many of them, while developing numerous HP and industry standards to ensure these products meet our customers’ expectations for performance, quality, and reliability.

• Consolidate supplies orders to reduce or eliminate the environmental impact of packing and transporting multiple single orders using HP SureSupply. You can also order multiple replacement ink cartridges at once for a cost savings to you.14

GET MORE DONE with productivity tools Get professional-quality results at amazing speeds. Improve productivity with advanced copy features; automatic two-sided printing, copying, and scanning; legal-size scanning; up to 500-sheet total input capacity; and digital faxing, sending, and filing solutions. (Refer to the “Product walk-around” on page 2 to learn which options are available for each e-All-in-One model.)

Produce professional-quality prints fast Print your office documents fast with speeds equivalent to a laser printer with up to 15 ppm black and 11 ppm color.9 The e-All-in-One prints documents in draft mode at print speeds up to 35 ppm black and 34 ppm color.10

Get a complete office solution at a great price As a small office business owner, you want to concentrate on your business, not your equipment. The HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One is designed to be easy to use and offers fast, high-quality printing and copying, high-resolution scanning, and reliable faxing to help increase productivity. The following digital solutions contribute to the product’s efficiency.

Create flawless copies Take the guesswork out of copying using CopySmart. The HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus and Premium e-All-in-Ones make it easy to create flawless copies by automatically detecting skew and fixing the copy.15

Easily make copies—even of two-sided ID cards Use the scan and copy features to print fast, easy copies. Capture both sides of a double-sided identification card and print them on one side of a single page for reporting and filing.

Top features 9

Unattended, uninterrupted printing, copying, and scanning • Produce professional-looking two-sided documents without standing by the e-All-in-One and handling every

page. Automatically scan, copy, or fax two-sided documents. Routinely printing documents on both sides reduces your printing costs, virtually doubles the device’s input capacity, and makes paperwork more manageable.

• Load documents and walk away. The e-All-in-One includes a 35- or 50-sheet automatic document feeder (ADF), depending on model. You can copy, scan, or fax up to legal-sized originals from the ADF, including two-sided document scanning. (Refer to the “Product walk-around” on page 2 to learn which options are available for each e-All-in-One.)

• Print more pages and handle fewer cartridge replacements with high-capacity HP Officejet replacement ink cartridges.7

• Add input capacity and replenish the paper tray less often with two 250-sheet input trays, depending on model.3

HP Direct Digital Filing HP Direct Digital Filing provides robust, general-office scanning, as well as versatile document management capabilities, for multiple users over a network.16 (With the 8500A, you can scan to a network folder. The 8500A Plus and 8500A Premium also enable you to scan to email.)

With HP Direct Digital Filing, you can simply walk up to your HP Officejet Pro device, press the Scan icon on the device’s control panel, and scan documents directly to folders on your network or quickly share them with business partners as email attachments—all without using additional scanning software. These scanned documents can be sent to a shared network folder for personal or group access or to one or more email addresses for quick sharing. In addition, you can configure specific scan settings for each scan destination, allowing you to make sure that the best settings are being used for each specific task.

HP Digital Fax Never misplace important faxes within a stack of paper pages again. With HP Digital Fax, you can save incoming black-and-white faxes to a computer folder on your network for easy sharing and storage, or you can forward faxes through email—allowing you to receive important faxes from anywhere while working away from the office.16 (With the 8500A, you can fax to a network folder. The 8500A Plus and 8500A Premium enable you to fax to email.) In addition, you can turn off fax printing altogether—saving money on paper and ink, as well as helping reduce paper consumption and waste.

HP Digital Sending HP Digital Sending Software streamlines critical business document handling.16

• Shed those pounds of paper. This software provides the link you need between your e-All-in-One and electronic distribution and storage––the key to a streamlined document capture-process-route system. The software integrates paperwork quickly into existing electronic workflows, so your documents are processed sooner and remain more readily available.

• Go digital and save money. Incorporating paper documents into an electronic infrastructure saves money by reducing overhead. The costs of physical storage, manual processes like retyping and centralized scanning, and hardcopy distribution such as analog faxing, postage, and courier services—all become things of the past.

Access documents and PRINT FASTER WITHOUT A PC Your office has a new command center for printing, faxing, and scanning. The e-All-in-One’s intuitive touchscreen, front-facing USB port, and memory card slots enable you to complete day-to-day tasks without your PC.

The e-All-in-One supports walk-up photo printing (JPEG, TIFF, and PNG) as well as scanning to memory cards or USB flash memory (JPEG, TIFF, and PDF). This feature is perfect for printing saved files from notebooks and other digital devices and quickly accessing presentations, documents, and photos without a PC.

With its flexible connectivity via the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed port and wireless 802.11n networking, the HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One series is designed with businesses in mind.

Top features 11

• Offers easy print management—The HP Embedded Web Server lets you manage the e-All-in-One from any computer on the network. HP Web Jetadmin provides a single support tool for managing groups of e-All-in-Ones and other devices.

Wireless (Wi-Fi) networking The HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One series includes built-in wireless networking, so you can connect the e-All-in-One directly to a Wi-Fi network without using an external print server. Wireless networking allows work teams with a wireless router and a notebook or desktop computer with a wireless card or adapter to print via a wireless connection—there’s no need for a cable between the computer and the e-All-in-One. And data travels quickly, at speeds up to 300 Mbps across distances of up to 100 feet (30.5 meters).6 The benefits that are unique to built-in wireless networking include:

• Increases mobility—Place the e-All-in-One anywhere in your wireless network environment.

• Reduces cable clutter—Keep your office environment tidy and organized with fewer cables.

• Simplifies relocation—Fewer cables make it easier to move equipment from one location to another. There’s no need to purchase expensive networking cables or invest time installing networking wires.

Wired (Fast Ethernet) networking Designed to be easy to share, the e-All-in-One offers embedded wired networking capabilities that allow you to connect the e-All-in-One directly to a 10/100Base-T Fast Ethernet network. With the e-All-in-One turned on, simply connect an Ethernet cable from the device’s RJ-45 port to the network hub, switch, or router, and then run the installation software on each of the computers on the network. On-screen instructions provide easy step-by-step installation.

No IT? No problem HP offers tools for the small business owner who doesn’t have a dedicated IT department:

• Order supplies—A single screen shows your e-All-in-One’s ink status and provides direct access to online shopping from preferred resellers or HP SureSupply.14

• Troubleshoot before there is trouble—Get alerts on current and future device problems through HP Proactive Support.

Deploy a proven device management tool used worldwide Remotely manage a variety of printing and imaging devices with HP Web Jetadmin. This solution lets you install, configure, monitor, and troubleshoot printing and imaging devices and supplies from anywhere on the network with a single tool. Loaded with new features and enhanced security, HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 is faster and easier to use than ever. You can download the software free from www.hp.com/go/wja.

Manage devices remotely using your web browser The HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) included in the e-All-in-One provides a universal interface to the device that anyone with a network-connected PC and a standard web browser can easily access, regardless of the operating system. This EWS interface can be password-protected and is only available to users within the business or enterprise firewall. It requires no special software to install or configure. The EWS allows you to display status information, change settings, and manage the e-All-in-One from your computer.

The HP EWS and HP Web Jetadmin work together to meet your product management needs. You can install and manage networked devices quickly and effectively. Network administrators can manage networked devices remotely, from practically anywhere.

The HP EWS provides a simple, easy-to-use solution for one-to-one product management in environments that have a limited number of products. However, environments that have several products might want to use HP Web Jetadmin for group product management. With HP Web Jetadmin you can discover, manage, and configure multiple devices simultaneously.

HP Enterprise Support HP developed the HP Basic Features software for HP Officejet printers for enterprise and corporate customers who want a smaller driver and don’t need full functionality. This software includes a print and TWAIN scan driver for local connections and a print and web scan driver for network connections. With its small, modular, and silent install, it is ideal for IT departments who support a large number of PC users and need pre-configuration and easy deployment.

Legendary HP RELIABILITY This e-All-in-One sets the standard for industry reliability, providing a worry-free office solution. If you ever do need service and support, HP’s Customer Care is one of the best. By being certain of a maximum uptime, you’ll boost productivity and end frustration.

• Prior to its introduction, a new HP Officejet product undergoes rigorous HP testing to ensure that it provides consistent high-quality performance. Tests are performed with a large sample of devices through each step of the design process, to be certain that the product measures up to HP standards. The result is a solid, reliable product that produces consistent, excellent output quality over the life of the device and its supplies.

• The e-All-in-One comes standard with a one-year limited hardware warranty backed by HP Customer Care with technical phone support.
